Travellin’ Man

I like to think of myself as a well-traveled individual, I mean, in the last ten years I’ve been to places like Florence, Italy; Oslo, Norway; Dublin, Ireland; all over the United Kingdom and many many places within the continental United States, why just this month we’re off again to Walt Disney World in Orlando and possibly another trip to Charlotte…

But it really hit home how far I’ve come last night, we were sitting watching Passport To Europe with Samantha Brown that was caught in a TiVo wish list Robyn setup a while back in preparation for our UK trip… This episode happened to be about Glasgow, which of course was of interest to both of us, for different reasons. I watched it to reminisce about the locales, and point out horrific errors in editing and research… For example, if the host asks a question in the back of a taxi while outside Queen Street Station, you have problems if the cabbie takes enough time to answer it while passing Central Station before cutting back to a reaction shot from the host back outside Queen Street Station… And the Clyde Auditorium is not part of Glasgow Science Centre, to name a few.

Anyways, I thought it was pretty weird sitting on my sofa in Atlanta, Georgia watching a travel programme showing places I used to hang out at on a regular basis… Which got me thinking, it would have been just over ten years ago I would have been watching the 1996 Olympics wondering where the hell Atlanta was, funny how times change and life kinda goes full circle, you know, sitting in Glasgow watching Atlanta, now sitting in Atlanta watching Glasgow, for the full circle I need to go back to Glasgow and watch, oh I dunno, a Braves home game on Channel 5’s baseball coverage, that would be very weird.

Anyways, in light of all this traveling I’ve done, where would you go if you had a free ticket to travel anywhere in North America, and why?

I’m just wondering…
